Thinking Jesus Dec 22, 2014

Show notes

How well do we know Jesus Christ? What are we doing to learn more about His life and His teachings?

Studies show that families with a main focus on their church or their family relationships are less stable than families that are centered on Christ. The Eyres discuss a program they have developed to help families remember Jesus Christ each week: What Manner of Man.

And there's no better time to start thinking about Christ than Christmas!
